Starting line
Yee haw! There is nothing I love more than a list. Well, I take that back. I really love checking things off of lists. Sometimes when I have little tasks at work that I finish quickly, I put them on my to-do list after they're already done, just so I can check them!
What do lists have to do with running? Well, what is the training schedule, other than a 12-week to-do list? I am proud to say that I've been doing pretty well checking things off my "list" so far - here's a rundown of last week:
Saturday: Ran/walked 6 miles
Sunday: Rest day
Monday: Supposed to lift weights... we'll call it another rest day.
Tuesday: Ran 3 miles
Wednesday: My first day of speed work! I did a mile warm-up, then ran 5 repeats of 400m with about 2 minutes rest in between each one. I was supposed to run at "5K Pace," but I haven't run any respectable 5Ks recently so I just ran fast. I think I was averaging between 7-8 mins-per-mile pace. (I have a nifty little GPS device that tell me mileage and pace. Very handy.)
Thursday: Ran 3 miles
Friday: Rest
Not too shabby, eh? I probably won't be able to run this weekend, since I'm going to KC for a wedding and to visit my husband's family.
Enjoy the long weekend - I'll see you Tuesday!

Very inspirational. I love lists too, except when they get too long and there's no end in sight.

Cute photo! Lists, love them. You should see how long the one is I have going now. Out of about 15 or so things, only three are crossed off.
